Abstract
The design and installation of test facilities for the determination of macro-mechanical and thermal properties of fiber-reinforced polymer materials at temperatures down to 4.2 K are presented. Construction and performance details are given for the following test equipment, developed at CERN:
-
1
Quasi-static-tensile and compression-test facilities equipped with an automatic data acquisition system for calculation of material properties, deformation characteristics, and various statistics (Fig. 1).
-
2
A thermal contraction-expansion measuring system.
-
3
A thermal conductivity measurement cell.
